Anyone switch from a full to light/no contact MA?

I've read lots of stories about how people stopped taking a "bad" MA (WC, TKD, etc.) and took a "good" one with full contact sparring (KB, BJJ, etc.).

What I'd like to know is if there is anyone who has taken a full contact/sport MA and after being in it for awhile (6 months +) decided to switch to a light or no contact one. Has anyone gone from Judo to Aikido? Muay Thai to TKD? BJJ to Wing Chun? If so, why?

I know some people take Tai Chi because injuries have prevented them from training hard and sparring. I'm especially interested in if anyone has made a specific choice to switch styles because they felt the non-Bullshido approved style was superior. Or, what ever other reason one has.

P.S. I have known some who have. Most basically adapt. For example, I have met at least three people who started studying Aikido with resistance and adding in "atemi" as in strikes. One was toss out of his Aikido group for doing this on the weekends!

Some have done Tai Chi and the like for flexibility and relaxation--PERIOD. They do not consider them "fighting" exercises.

I haven't, but this gives me an idea for something to do since I re-cracked my rib! I'll take up aikido and flower-arranging... I hear there's a lot of carryover. ;) (just kidding aikido people, please don't passive-aggressive me to death)

"[Fighting for Points] is doubtless very pretty, and invariably draws applause, but preferences should always be given to blows that do some business, to good straight hits that do something toward finishing the fight.
A man who has carefully trained for brilliant tapping play, will find himself considerably out of it in case he is called upon to do any real work."

I have not heard of anyone going from a full to realistic contact martial art to a compliant art who then claimed that the complaint art is better. There is that guy the ninjers cite who joined the BJK, but I do not know if he has declared BJK as "better" than what he studied previously.
